The research method used for primary data collection with Multi Stage Random Sampling. Research areas are Musi Rawas Regency and Banyuasin Regency, which respectively represent agricultural areas with technical irrigation and tidal swamps. In each district, two villages were selected, so that there were four sample villages, and 50 farmers in each village were selected, so there were 200 respondent farmers. The results showed rice farming in tidal areas use less labor but wider cultivated area, higher productivity and welfare than farmers in irrigated areas. Potential labor transition from one sector to others in irrigated areas is greater than the tidal area, so rice farming sustainability in tidal land is than technical irrigation area.
